@Kaggen My thoughts exactly. I don't understand how people find that play style riveting but I suppose many do and I really don't even care. I just want Area 52 to stop being treated like the red-headed step child...

RE: Weak Auras
@DoctorBlah I finally figured it out. I forgot that the live server was classless. I was choosing load on hunter for example for my hunter heavy character instead of loading on character name

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
Here's my issue with this situation. If people like draft, that's all well and good but they need to stop sacrificing Area 52 for it. I play free pick. I won't play anything else. I expected the updates from season 7 after that season was over and DIDN'T GET IT. Now we have moved on to season 8 and I'm still waiting on the supposed updates that should have been ready for Area 52 that they once again put in the background for everything else. I won't bother to play this game until they come correct.

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@Badgoy As I was saying, I DON'T CARE if people prefer draft over freepick. I find draft stupid as a PERSONAL opinion just as you view freepick. My only concern is that Area 52 suffers as a result, period. Where is my justice for having to wait perhaps 6+ mo for something I should have already received and prepared to make plans around??? Yes - it's crap that they forced people who liked draft to merge with 52. I don't know why they would do that if draft were so popular? They certainly gave draft everything first before 52. Was it an attempt to garner interest in the server? Didn't work obviously...
Also as an aside, when I first started playing on Ascension, I didn't realize that Area 52 was the freepick server which is what drew me to this platform in the first place. I chose Alar as an accident and instantly disliked it. So your extrapolation of people starting on certain servers ending up preferring that playstyle doesn't hold water. It's what the individual likes that determines their choice.

"And please show me the filled to the brim Standard server in PoE... Only, because you see some People in town, who are standing there the whole year, doesnt mean anything. If the League is down to 5k people, how many do you think play Standard? 50? 100"?
I never said it was "filled to the brim". I said it was busy and bustling even during the seasonal content.
"And most of them, just try to figure out a build and test some theorycrafting for the LIVE Realm, because they DONT CARE about wasting currency there".
I concede that you may have a point there but it doesn't take away from the fact that they faithfully updated the "boring" server during and immediately after the season unlike these devs and I already attributed that to lack of manpower.
"Do you understand that Devs work all day long on fixing bugs for Thrall"?
Yes - do you understand that players on Area 52 STILL haven't even gotten the spells and talents from season 7 before they moved on to season 8?
"Do you really think they care the slightest atm about Area 52? as I said, effort is put in the direction of where the money comes from. And that is clearly not A52"!
Well they SHOULD - that is IF they want to keep the interest of the players on Area 52. Otherwise, they may as well delete it...
"I am 100% Sure they even make more money with Rexxar Packages alone than whole Area 52..."
Not everything is about money which is why this server will eventually probably die. At this point I'm just waiting for CoA and hope that they don't screw that up.
"And what Streamers are Promoting Area 52? None, because noone cares at the moment, you are a die hard minority. Accept it or be mad, its your choice."
Well duh! Of course there will be videos about season 8 because it's the newest thing on ascension and if you type in WoW Ascension on youtube there really isn't all that much hype about season 8. After about a page of season 8 vids, it pretty much drops off. Some won't even PLAY season 8 because they hate draft and think it's stupid and some don't really care all that much even if they are not a direct fan of draft.
To close this out, I NEVER had issues finding groups in the finder on Area 52 that you claim to be dead and unpopular. There is still much to do for those who haven't consumed all of the content as of yet or are still leveling their characters. I go 1x exp just to let all of my characters level up organically. I don't rush to the end. This is why I have a ton of stuff to do in the game. Aside from that, whenever they bring in WotLK, that will add a whole new layer of busy.
And finally, you need to change your attitude. Frankly it sucks. You sound like one of those elitist pricks on many of these type of games.

Not a fan of leveling mobs
As the title says. I notice that at least in Malgannis that the mobs level up with you even in lower level zones. This is a terrible idea and there is no need for this. WHY would you do this??? There is more than enough exp in the game to get you to max level. There are times when I WANT to traverse a lower lvl zone and not worry about having to dodge and juke aggro

Weak Auras
Does anyone know what is going on with this mod? Last I recall when I was on Area 52, it was working. I decided to test CoA because they wouldn't update Area 52 and WA worked perfectly there. I saw that they finally updated A52 and decided to come back and check it out. When it was updating all of my mods while reinstating A52 that I downloaded from the launcher itself, it seemed like it was fine. Upon loading the game, none of the mods worked. I went back to the launcher, removed and re-installed those mods and they all worked including WA but after setting up my specific, simple layout and then attack something, they don't show up. I go back into the options menu to find that the entire thing was moved to "not loaded". NOTHING that I do will change that. I tried deleting and reinstalling the mod, repairing the client, deleting the WTF folder, disabling all other mods - nothing works...
Does anyone have any idea of why that is happening as I refuse to play without that mod working properly?

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@Badgoy And I don't want to be rude but you make a lot of assumptions. Whats "boring" to YOU isn't boring to everybody. How would you know about the metrics of the "boring" server if you don't even play it? For your information, I played PoE for a good while on that "boring" server which was STILL busy and bustling even DURING a season! Also, the "boring" server got most of the features of what the seasonal server got IMMEDIATELY accept for whatever the main theme mechanic was and immediately after the season, the "boring" server got everything else without delay. Granted they have a bigger crew to handle things but "boring" servers as you like to call them are not doxxed because they are "boring", it's to promote the SEASON and get people to play it. Stop talking about crap that you really have no clue about and making expositions based on bias.

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@WiliemDemon Yes - that is the way it still was when I entered the scene. I picked Alar then found out that Area 52 was freepick and made the switch. I participated in season 7 and stopped playing at the end of the season waiting for the updates that never came to 52. Particularly the talents and spells. Back then anyway, the server seemed busy - never had a problem finding a group in group finder and saw people running around all of the time. Whether it's dead or not now, I couldn't say as I haven't played since they kept screwing us over. If it is dead, much of that probably has to DO with there being no updates and if they don't have the manpower to handle it, they may as well delete the server as they will be bleeding players anyway as a result.
I don't understand why the couldn't just port the spells and talents over as they should already be balanced for 52. Didn't seem to be an issue having them ready for Alar after season 7 unless it was done on purpose to try and draw more players over to Alar at the time.

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@SteadyPenguin Is it worth trying to garner more players by causing CURRENT players to lose interest in the game? There are certain things that I wanted from season 7 that I waited 3 months for and stopped playing the game until that time because I didn't want to progress without the builds I had in mind but now it's just oh well I guess...
Perhaps you can explain why it's so difficult to transfer some talents and skills over that should already be balanced for Area 52 as Alar was basically the same minus the draft aspect? If they have time to merge the 2, how is it that merging the talents and spells are a challenge? I mean - I'm not a programmer so perhaps you can explain why it's such an impossible task?
